*Consumer Electronics Control (
CEC): Atlona has confirmed proper CEC functionality with several current models of Samsung, Panasonic, and
Sony displays. However, it is not guaranteed that CEC will work with all displays. Many manufacturers do not support the CEC “off” command,
and older displays use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports displays that use the CEC command structure defined in HDMI 1.2a. It is
recommended that dealers request an evaluation product from Atlona, before designing a system using the CEC protocol. If this is not possible,
then other control methods will need to be considered, in order to control displays using Atlona products.
